Corbinism, the post-mortem, is kindly sponsored by the Media Masters podcast, a series of one-to-one

interviews with the very biggest media names, hosted by Paul Blanchard. You can tune in any time at

Mediamasters.fm.m. And now, here's the show. This is obviously a very disappointing night

for the Labour Party. I want to also make it clear that I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign.

I will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result

and on the policies that the party will take going forward.

It's not Corbynism. There is no such thing as Corbynism.

Jeremy Corbyn's torrid relationship with the backbench MPs of the Parliamentary Labour Party

culminated in a vote of no confidence in 2016, which he lost by an astonishing margin of

197 to 40 votes. Despite losing a confidence vote, Corbyn fought the Labour Party machine to stay

on the leadership ballot as an incumbent and was returned to office by a 61% majority,

dashing the PLP's hopes of a change of direction. The Labour Party's narrow defeat in the 2017 election

solidified Corbyn's position and effectively pacified much of the dissent emanating from his own

benches until a handful of MPs resigned or defected to other parties over Brexit

and anti-Semitism. But what of the dissenting MPs who stayed? And what does the future hold for a

party that remains firmly shaped in Jeremy Corbyn's image following its humiliating electoral loss in 2019?

Hello and welcome to Corbinism the post-mortem, with me, your host, Oz Catterjee.

Joining me on this episode to discuss Brexit, anti-Semitism, backbench descent and the future

of the Labour Party is the Labour MP for Waltham Stowe's Stellocrecy.

We are now at the halfway point in this limited series as we start to approach the closing

stages of the Labour

Leadership election and we begin to see what direction the party takes into the new decade.
